Product Description
A DC male pigtail extends power from a central PSU to a camera's female barrel jack over a 30cm run. It suits junction box-to-PSU wiring and rack power distribution where a short, defined jumper is needed rather than a full new cable run.
Key specs
- Connector: 5.5mm OD x 2.1mm ID male barrel plug, matching female DC jacks on analogue HD-TVI/AHD/CVI cameras
- Wire: 18AWG pure copper, red positive / black negative, polarity-coded
- Rating: 2-5A at 12-24VDC — covers single or parallel camera feeds
- Length: 30cm — bridges the gap between a junction box and a PSU or rack terminal without slack to manage
- Termination: pre-stripped ends, ready for screw terminals, crimps or Wago connectors
- Insulation: flame-retardant PVC over pure copper conductors, keeping voltage drop low over moderate extensions
Where it fits
On multi-channel installs, these pigtails wire straight into DC supplies positioned near NVRs and patch panels, useful for daisy-chaining or bus-feeding several cameras from one PSU. Pre-stripped ends mean no soldering on site — screw clamps or crimps do the job.
Compatible with Dahua and other hybrid systems run over siamese cable or fed from rack-mount DC supplies, this makes a sensible stock item for anyone regularly terminating analogue camera power on retail, warehouse or office installs.
